''That badlv-worn Brussels Carpet

and tell everybody it belonged to
you," said the man. II beat carpet
in the back yard, roll it up. and if
any one asks me what l have in that
bundle, say a velvet carpet for Mrs.
Blank, or I stop at two or three
houses and ask if Mrs. Blank lives
there who bought a new Will

of carpet-beating. Carpets need re-
newal as well as cleaning. We cover

do this, as they need not go far to do their
shooting. and may have occasion to do it
at n very short notice
In this country, however, where large
estates stocked with game are unknown
ana shooting trip takes time and prepa-
ration, such private arsenals are not
needed. Even the wealthiest and most
eXtravagant do not find it necessary to
employ private armorers, and most sports
men take delight inCleaning and putting
away their own guns. Some though, who
have great demands upon their time either
because of social or business cares, cannot
afford or do not care to bother with the
work, and it is for them that this gun
storage business was begun by The two
Scotch brothers.
As they are first class workmen and
very independent, only the wealthy sports
men can afford to deal with them. They
have conducted this business for many
years, and in that time have been associ-
ated with ali the prominent New Workers
of sporting proclivities and have learned
great many of their characteristics The
trust reposed in them is very great, as the
guns are all valuable and are sometimes
left in their care for years. Such is the
case, for instance, with some OF the fire
arms belonging to James Gordon Bennett,

OPINIONS.

NEW YORK, Dec 6-The Times in its
editorial on the presidents message, will
say: Mr.. Cleveland has done an act of
craftsmanship in the best sense. Recog-
nlzIng a great duty, he has performed it
with courage, with firmnesS and at the
right time, and he has performed it so
that every honest man must
see that it is an honest act
Judged by an ordinary standard of pOliti-
cal expediency, the president act is an eX
pedient. Ii the protectionists faction in
the Democratic party carry out their own
desires, or do what they have continually
declared they would do, Mr.. Cleveland has
done theEne thing by which he could i'm
peril the prospect of MS own denomination.
1t pleases Mr.. Cleveland far above any of
the leaders to whom the Republican party
has of late lent a hearing; and above most
OF the leaders of his own party.
The Sun will say: He declares that the
theoretical question as between protection
and free trade. is entirely irrelevant" and
yet the most striking and interesting part
Of the message is devoted TO precisely that
sort of an argument with which any free
trade representative IN congress, or any
free trade professor in 2 college class room
Or the author OF any free trade text book OF
political economy, would begin an attack
upon the theory Of protection. This, we
saw Is the most notable fact about the
message Mr. Cleveland has never before
in a public paper taken sides squarely
upon this question. He has done so now
IN a manner that leaves room FOR no mis-
understanding. 1t is bold thing to do,
and the president deserves credit for the
piainness OF his speech
The Herald will say: The message will
not please extremists Of either side, free
traders or protectioniSts. but it viii, we be-
heve, please and satisfy the people at large
aud il puts upon both parties in congress
the solemn duty 20 relieve the country
from a most serious danger.
LONDON, Dec 6.-The Morning Post,
commenting on President Cleveland's
message, says: The message will probably
produce Il profound sensation in Europe
as well as in America, and will strengthen
the free-traders' cause throughout the
world.
The Daily News says: Seldom has an
American president had more important
orcOmpressive lesson to teach The fact
is, th;.f although President Cleveland
makes a pretense of shutting his eyes 10 it,
the policy Of protection has been reduced
10 a practical and theoretical absurdity
The stone now set rolling VIII not stop TIL
the idol Of protection is broken in pieces.
